Minister of State cancels visit to Casino I MIMI MURRAY
LOCAL community groups have been left “disappointed” by the cancellation of a visit from Minister of State, Michael Ring, to the Casino in Malahide this week. The Minister was due to visit the proposed site that could house the Fry Model Railway on Wednesday but cancelled at “short notice”, according to Fianna Fail Senator, Darragh O’Brien. Cllr Eoghan
O’Brien (FF) also called for a suspension of standing orders at Wednesday’s Area Committee meeting and was asking for all-party support on letters to be sent to Bus Eireann and Failte Ireland about plans for the railway. Senator O’Brien said he was still “quietly confident” that the Railway would make its way home to Malahide as “no contracts have been signed with Bus Eireann as yet”. Full Story on Page 6
